Tyresta In Bloom
Updated:
Last time I was in Tyresta I turned around half way across the burnt area. This time the weather was much better and I decided to go all the way to Stensjön.
The Hike
As before, I started out on the "baby stroller hike" and then turned east to cross the burnt area. Unlike the last time I went to Stensjön, I didn't have to move through knee-deep snow, and I had no problems reaching the north-east corner of the lake. The hopes I expressed about the flowering of the burnt area back in March, however, turned out to be wrong. The ground was covered in moss with very few colorful things. Some small flowers could be seen, and I spent a disproportionate time trying to photograph them, fighting the narrow depth of field of the close-up lens.
